9.1

Smokey blueberries (if there was such a thing), vanilla, coconut cream, licorice, beef jerky, and a subtle dill/mint note. Plums, blueberries, sour cherry with some toasty oak and black tea. Medium acidity and medium, slightly course tannins.

Really tasty stuff. Quite Rioja like which I enjoy. I'll be looking for Temp from this region in the future. — 4 years ago

Pop and pour. On the nose: gooseberry, vanilla, lime..very fresh. On the palate: good acidity, grapefruit, gooseberry, grass, soft white pepper on the finish. Good body, and a totally solid Sancerre. — 5 years ago

Impressive how useful it still is. Blind I thought it was a Toro, or a blend with Carignane. Deep color, perfectly integrated oak. Amazing. Good investment — 9 months ago

A steal on auction
I wouldn’t consider it a 🥩 wine but great with charcuterie
Web info
Chateau Valandraud is represented by the passion of a couple: Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud. Following the great success with the wine merchant business in Saint Emilion, they opened their own vineyard to produce their own wine.
In 1989, they bought a small parcel of 0.6 hectare (1.48 acres) located in a small valley near Saint Emilion between Pavie-Macquin and La Clotte. The origin of the wine name is as much geographic (Val: Vallon de Fongaban), as sentimental (Andraud: Murielle’s maiden name). Thus Chateau Valandraud was born.
Little by little, Jean-Luc and his wife purchased several other parcels of vines, and now, the domain represents a total surface of 10 hectares (24.71 acres), located in various areas of Saint Emilion. The diversity of soils and varietals permit the production of 6 different wines: Chateau Valandraud, Chateau Valandraud Casher, Virginie de Valandraud and the 3 de Valandraud (the second wine of Chateau Valandraud and Virginie de Valandraud), Blanc de Valandraud N° 1 and N° 2.
The final blending of the various parcels occurs in the month of March, following a blind tasting with the help of the world famous oenologist, Michel Rolland. — 2 years ago

Fruit seems to be fading. Acidic and savory. Almost a balsamic, Sangiovese-esque note.
More Pintail & Widgeon. 2007 was the last vintage Ponsot used natural cork. — 5 years ago
